Mukund’s Pongal Adventure

It was a bright and sunny day and Mukund was excited to travel to his home town for the Pongal festival. Every year, there is a big celebration at the center of the town and this is something that Mukund always enjoyed and looked forward to. This year, amma told that there are some competitions for kids. Mukund being the confident self, had already decided that he would win the trophy!

As soon as he arrived, he rushed to meet his friends and started playing with them. At around lunch time, his parents caught him and took him to buy new dress for the festival. After shopping in the crowded streets, Mukund was exhausted. It was a long day of travel, playing and shopping. He was so ready to hit the bed when the door bell rang and it was Mukund’s uncle who also came for the festival. It was almost midnight when all of them parted to sleep.

Next day, before anyone woke up, Mukund was up and was ready for the competition. He woke up his uncle and dragged him to the maidan where the festivities take place. The challenge was to crack a dangling pot hanging in the air blindfolded. It was Mukund’s first time doing such an activity. He first observed how others are doing and devised a plan with his uncle. He asked his uncle to cough when the pot comes down his height. The plan worked and Mukund was able to crack the pot in third attempt to his joy. He jumped in joy and ran to his uncle; his parent also came right on time to celebrate Mukund’s victory.

It was time for the festivities, Mukund along his grandpa and rest of the family went to the farm and started making the Pongal with the fresh harvest and offered it to the Sun God!
